sure no problem.
I speak french quite well so if you prefer we could continue in french via pm or msn?
If not, which exact entries did you try to change? Did you enter REGEDIT4 into the first line?
Did you soft reset after the entry was made?

Anyone tried to change the registry keys of the Battery in Control panel??
Maybe this will fix the battery indicator problem..

Path please? I don't see any battery-related keys or values in Control Panel registry under either HKLM or HKCU, except for those relating to backlight behavior while on battery.

HTc HD7, Registry Editor from TouchXperience.

After apply this key with your serial number Windows Live don't ask for activation on HD2.

Windows Live ID :
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\GwpCPC]
  "ActivationCode"="*****-*****-*****-*****-*****"

Thx ceesheim

It's any way to use this entry to activate the Windows Live account, I from Costa Rica and I tried to ask for the activation key but the MS Help Desk here is so useless :(

Have you actually tested this with MP3s? Ringtones apparently need to be WMA, 48KHz.

For the record, there's a multi-string registry value which lists the filenames of the Alert and Alarm sounds. Until we can edit muti-string data, the best option it sto rename an existing string to something else, then add your custom audio and re-name it to what you want. Requires write access to \Windows\ though.

    Use each music and each audio format with each size as Ringtone , Alert , Alarm

    Hey guys
    I finally found : Use .m4a , .wma , .wav and .mp3 formats as Alarm,Alert,Ringtone ((without size and length limitations))
    without changing the audio name for example Alert-01.wma or .....

    first copy/paste your favorite(s) music(s) to \windows folder.

    ok go [HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/
    OEMNotifications << for Alerts
    OEMAlarms << for Alarms
    OEMRingtones] << for ringtones < as Alarms

    in these 3 folders add "new value" and then :

    Value Name: name.m4a or name.mp3 or name.wav or name.wma << name=name of your audio file that pasted in WINDOWS folder.

    Value Data: enter a name for your audio that you want to be shown.

    Value Type: String

    then click "ok" to set it and go to Setting>ringtones+sounds and see

    I tested with .aac , .amr , .m4a , .ac3 , .aiff , .flac , .mka , .mp2 and .ogg formats but just .m4a worked as SMS Alert.
    I try it to add a small .mp4 video as ringtone but did not work.
    I think if we can add more formats for Ringtones Category it will be possible to have video as ringtone.

    (important) If you use a long music as sms alert for example you can not stop playing it so you must shutdown your phone.

    I think with this registry tweak all applications related to Ringtones and RingtoneMaker and ... must be change.
